The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 33: This Is Who He Loves
Finn held Dorothy's face as he stared deep into her eyes. "Look at you," he murmured, his deep voice cracking slightly. He admired her for a moment before speaking again. "You look so much healthier this time. Are you all finally getting along?" he asked.Dorothy grinned from ear to ear at the question. She turned back to look at Stefan, and Finn followed her gaze. It was then he realized there were other people in the room, including someone he did not recognize."You should give the credit to my husband, Dad. He took really good care of me," Dorothy replied.Finn froze, his hands dropping from her face."Husband?" His eyes flickered between Stefan and Dorothy. "When did you get married?" he asked, squinting in confusion."Mom didn't tell you I was married?" Dorothy asked, looking unsure.Finn turned his gaze to Agnes. Though his expression remained calm, she knew she was in trouble. He forced a smile before shifting his attention to Stefan, who stood behind them with his hands burie

The boardroom was filled with business clients, including Stefan and Dorothy. Each person had a bottle of water, a pen, and a notepad, listening intently to the man standing at the front of the room."And with this idea of mine, I’m sure we can make this company a better place," the client concluded, and everyone in the room applauded."Thank you, Mr. Jay, for the excellent presentation. We will take some of your ideas into consideration," Kia said before opening the large book in front of him. "Next week, Mrs. Dorothy Everest, you will present to us." He said with a strictly professional tone.Dorothy looked momentarily thrown off, but she forced a smile and nodded."That’s all. The meeting is dismissed," Kia announced, and the boardroom slowly emptied.Dorothy, in Stefan's office sighed, lost in thought, until Stefan hugged her from behind."Are you thinking about your presentation next week?" he asked softly. Her silence gave him the answer. "Love, you shouldn’t worry. You’ll do gr

Stefan entered the room and found Dorothy sitting on the bed, writing on a sheet of paper. Around her were several crumpled papers, and she looked troubled."Love, what are you doing?" he asked, coming to sit beside her."I'm trying to prepare a startup speech for the presentation, but I can't seem to come up with a good one," Dorothy pouted, tossing the last paper onto the floor.Stefan sighed and sat closer."You don’t have to overwork yourself or prove to anyone that you deserve the title I gave you. Love, you know I don’t play with my business. I wasn’t stupid when I asked you to be my First Lady," Stefan told her.Dorothy bit her lip. He was right—she worried too much about what people thought. Ever since Stefan announced her as First Lady, she had been receiving disgusted looks from women and criticism online."Thank you," she said, smiling in appreciation."Now, will you drop all this and at least eat something?" Stefan asked. Before Dorothy could respond, he added, "If you say

"She was watching porn before her big presentation.""This is so disturbing to watch.""So unprofessional."The boardroom erupted in murmurs. Dorothy frantically tried to shut the video off, but each click only revealed more explicit content."I was just practicing a few minutes ago... everything was fine," she mumbled, embarrassed and confused.Stefan's eyes darkened at the scene unfolding before him. Griffin, standing behind him, stepped forward."The meeting is over for today," he announced.The murmurs continued as the board members filed out, some throwing Dorothy disgusted looks."I'll take that," Kia said softly, gently removing the laptop from her hands. He exchanged a silent look with Griffin, signaling him to leave. The two men exited, leaving Dorothy and Stefan alone in the boardroom.Dorothy stood frozen, unable to meet Stefan's gaze. A hiccup escaped her lips before she broke down into tears."I'm sorry... I can't explain what happened," she cried.Stefan rose from his ch

Emily dared not turn to look at him. What was he doing here? She kept recalling what she had been told earlier about the man behind her. At the silent count of one… two… three, she took off running without looking back.She ran as fast as she could until she felt like she was far enough away. Then she stopped to catch her breath.“Trying to escape me?” a familiar voice said from behind her. Before she could move, she was roughly spun around to face him.A smirk played on his lips as his hands gripped her throat. He pulled her closer, inhaling the scent at the nape of her neck. Emily closed her eyes, trembling both inwardly and visibly.“Please… don’t kill me,” she pleaded, her voice quivering.“Kill you?” Levi pulled back slightly, sounding almost offended—though it was impossible to tell if he truly was or just pretending. “Where did you hear that lie about me?”Emily shook her head. She didn’t know whether to apologize or just cry.“Killing you sounds very tempting,” Levi murmured,

Stefan's eyes burned with heat as he watched her. She sat in front of him, legs spread, fingers inside her. He watched as she worked her fingers in and out. His bulge grew visibly larger, and he massaged it through his pants to keep himself sane.Dorothy moaned louder, her eyes focused on Stefan. The way he gently massaged himself made her work even faster."So hot..." Stefan muttered. "I really want to take you right now, love. I want to rip those clothes off, put this thick cock inside you, and fuck you so hard," Stefan said huskily. He didn't know when he had unzipped his trousers, jerking himself.His dirty words, the way he looked at her, and the way he touched himself were too much for Dorothy to handle. She was getting close, and in the next second, she exploded, her body vibrating.Stefan jumped from his seat, quickly grabbing her legs and placing them on his shoulders, licking her juices off—his favorite part.He did want to stand up and take her, but they’d never done it bef

Stefan pulled away from Dorothy only after she was breathless. He watched as she tried to catch her breath, and once she was halfway done, he spoke."I wasn't lying when I told you I loved you earlier," he said.Dorothy didn’t reply. She just watched him as she struggled to breathe."I'm a very jealous man. I'm selfish, and I'm a gatekeeper when it comes to you. Love, I can't share you, and I really tried my best, but I can't stand Finn," he confessed."Stefan, that's my dad!" Dorothy called out, slightly disappointed."And I'm asking how well you trust him. He doesn't act like your father to me. Instead, he makes me uncomfortable with the way he looks at you. I want to pluck his eyes out!" Stefan squeezed his face in an uncomfortable way like Finn was in front of them and he actually wanted to pluck his eyes out. Dorothy stared at him helplessly. "Maybe you worry too much. My dad would never cross the line," she said, rolling her eyes."Love," Stefan took Dorothy's hand, squeezing i

The next day at Dynamics Corporation, Stefan was busy with his paperwork when Kai entered the office carrying some files."Good morning, Mr. Stefan," he greeted, glancing around for Dorothy, but she wasn’t nearby. "Here are the employee performance analysis reports you requested," he said, placing the files on the table.Stefan took one of the files and began going through it. It contained a list of employees, their pictures, and brief background and performance evaluations. If an employee had a red mark, it meant they were not qualified enough to continue working at the company."Let these people know they can’t continue working here. Make sure they submit their resignation letters to the HR office immediately, or they’ll be fined for delaying," Stefan ordered."Yes, sir," Kai nodded and left to carry out the instructions. Unfortunately, one of the employees receiving the letter was Chloe, who still looked shocked."I'm trying my best. I'm not even getting paid, but I was willing to

The weekend was over, and Dorothy was back at VitMed. She was in her hostel, getting ready for school, with Kristen as usual sitting on her bed and watching her."You know you're glowing lately," said Kristen out of the blue."Huh?" Dorothy stared at her through the mirror, giving her a questioning look."Ever since you started spending weekends with your husband, you’ve been glowing. He treats you so well, right?" Kristen asked.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and nod.She paused for a second and turned to Kristen. "I want to ask you something.""Okay, I’m listening," Kristen said, straightening up on the bed, ready to hear it."If you were in my shoes, would you still go to school?" Dorothy asked with an unsure look. Kristen narrowed her eyes at the question. Dorothy noticed her expression and quickly defended herself, "Remember, you came to advise me, not judge me."Kristen twitched her lips and leaned back. "Marriage is never a hindrance, especially if you plan to go back to schoo

Stefan’s car pulled up in front of a fancy-looking restaurant. He stepped out and helped Dorothy out of the car.“At least put a smile on your face, would you?” Dorothy said, her lips curving up as she looked at Stefan’s reluctant expression.“I’m only here because you want me to be,” Stefan huffed.“No, you’re here because you already promised your mother you’d show up. You don’t want to keep a woman waiting at a restaurant,” Dorothy corrected him, taking his hand and leading him inside.The chauffeur opened the restaurant door for them, and Dorothy’s smile widened when she spotted Beatrice already waiting with a little boy sitting on her lap.“Hi,” she waved as they approached the table.“Hey,” Beatrice greeted. She would’ve stood up for a hug, but the seven-year-old on her lap kept her seated.Stefan simply cleared his throat and sat down. He’d much rather be at home with Dorothy, making her scream his name, than sitting in a restaurant making small talk.“Who’s the cutie?” Dorothy

It was the weekend. Dorothy was set to leave VitMed and head back home. She couldn’t wait to see Stefan again—he had promised to come pick her up.“I should use that opportunity to introduce myself to him. Please tell him I’ve been very good to you in school, so he could do something nice for me too,” Kristin, who was sitting beside Dorothy, exclaimed.“Stefan doesn’t do anything nice for anyone if they aren’t me,” Dorothy replied with a smirk and a proud look.“That’s because he hasn’t met me yet,” Kristin replied. When Dorothy gave her a serious look, she quickly corrected herself. “Not as someone who’s gonna steal your man—because obviously, I stand a chance—but he’s gonna love me as your best friend. Maybe someday he’ll take me out for a treat for being such a good friend to you,” Kristin added, feeling herself.Dorothy couldn’t help but smile and shook her head. Her phone rang—it was Stefan. She knew he was already outside.“I’m leaving now. Don’t miss me too much,” Dorothy tease

The Holmes Residence.Clarissa admired herself in the mirror, twirling slightly. She loved how expensive she looked. Ever since she married Sherlock, he’d showered her with nothing but luxury.A knock came at the door before Agnes stepped in, her face lighting up at the sight of Clarissa.“Gold and diamonds were made just for you,” Agnes praised, her eyes full of admiration.Clarissa’s smile widened. “I know,” she replied proudly.“So, where to?” Agnes asked, leaning against the doorframe.“Sherlock’s taking me to his company today. When I walk in, I want every single person to turn and stare. I wasn’t born to be ordinary,” Clarissa said with a confident smirk.“And that’s the spirit,” Agnes grinned.Clarissa glanced at the time on her Rolex. “Ugh, I’m almost late. That old man’s been waiting forever,” she huffed, grabbing her sunglasses and rushing out.Agnes simply watched her go, shaking her head.Downstairs, Sherlock looked up the moment he saw her coming. “You’re not planning to

The next morning at VitMed, Dorothy stepped out of the bathroom wearing her bathrobe. She massaged her back as she picked up her phone and dialed Stefan’s number.He picked up immediately.“Good morning, love,” his voice was a bit groggy, like he was just waking up.“Good morning. Did I wake you?” she asked with concern.“Not at all, sweetheart.”“Okay. Did you talk to your mom yesterday? How did it go?” Dorothy asked, and Stefan sighed.“I did talk to her yesterday, and she explained everything—but I can’t just forgive her like that, love. It’s too hard to just let it go,” Stefan grumbled.“I understand, Stefan. But baby steps, okay?”“If Finn were still alive and told you he was sorry for killing your parents, do you think you could ever forgive him?” Stefan asked. Even though Dorothy couldn’t see him, she could tell he was looking for an honest answer.“And that’s the difference between Finn and your mother. She did what she thought would protect you. She didn’t kill innocent peopl

Beatrice had an impatient look on her face as she sat in the restaurant. The moment Kai informed her that Stefan wanted to see her, she rushed over as quickly as she could.The restaurant's glass door swung open, and Stefan stepped inside. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on her, and then he made his way to her table."Stefan, thank you for agreeing to see me again," Beatrice said, moving in for a hug, but he stepped back."We don’t want to go too far now. I only agreed to talk to you because of my wife. Please, don’t touch me."Beatrice nodded and tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear before sitting down. Stefan took the seat across from her, and silence fell between them. He just sat there, staring at her intensely.Beatrice sighed."I didn’t come here to be stared at and sighed over. I have other places to be, so please don’t waste my time," Stefan said, frowning.Beatrice never imagined that Stefan would one day treat her like this."First, I want to say I’m

Behind her veil, she had a confused look. Was Abraham late, or did he not remember they were supposed to have a wedding ceremony here today? While she was lost in thought, Agnes hugged Clarissa but whispered in her ear.“Abraham isn’t coming because he’s not the one you’re getting married to. You’re actually getting married to his grandfather. And act cool—there are so many businessmen here, you don’t want to blow things up in front of them,” Agnes said before stepping back.Clarissa couldn’t believe her ears. She was getting married to Sherlock instead of Abraham. She was marrying a ninety-two-year-old man—and she had already invited her friends, even Dorothy.The priest began reciting the wedding speech and prayers.“Clarissa Florence, do you take Sherlock Holmes as your lawful wedded husband, to be with him through all seasons of life, till death do you both part?”There was no reply from Clarissa, causing murmurs from the crowd. Agnes sat still, tense, hoping Clarissa wouldn’t mes
The Grumpy Ceo's Sweetheart Chapter 65: The Marriage
As promised, some guards came to pick Clarissa and took her to the mall. It was a private mall owned by the Holmes family, filled with stunning designs and luxurious brands."Ma'am, may I help you with anything?" an employee asked respectfully, approaching her with a polite tone.Clarissa smirked and took off her glasses. "I'm getting married tomorrow, and I'm looking for the perfect wedding dress that complements my beauty," she said proudly."Aww, congratulations on your marriage in advance," the employee replied cheerfully."Whatever. Just find a dress for me," Clarissa said, rolling her eyes. The employee gave her an understanding nod, though she silently noted how rude Clarissa was.After a few minutes of trying on different styles, Clarissa finally found one that suited her best."I'm picking this one," she declared, and the employee nodded, sending staff to package it."You have good eyes. That’s one of the best wedding dresses we have," the employee said with a small smile."I

Since Dorothy wasn't coming back until the weekend, Kade felt like he had no reason to stay at school and was set to leave when a familiar lady blocked his path."Where to, Kade? Don’t tell me you're leaving so soon," Kristina said with a smirk."What do you want?" Kade asked, frowning."Come on, lighten up at least. We’re not fighting, Kade. Since Dorothy is out with her husband, how about you and I go grab a drink?" Kristina asked, wiggling her brows playfully."I don’t drink, so I don’t care for one. Now excuse me," Kade tried to walk past, but Kristina blocked him."Then we can take a walk or do something else. Please don’t let me spend this Saturday alone," she pleaded.Kade sighed helplessly, and Kristina smiled widely. She knew what that look meant. Happily, she grabbed his arm and led him away."You won’t regret hanging out with me today. We’re going to have so much fun," she said excitedly as they left together.—In Stefan’s mansion, Dorothy was still sleeping. He had spent
